14 Jun 12 - Data from 5
models now available!CCSM4 and IPSL-CM5A-LR
have now joined CNRM-CM5, HadGEM2-A and MIROC5 as models with
transpose-AMIP II data available for download - see
Accessing data for
details of how to do this.

Mar 11 - WCRP OSC session
Please consider submitting an abstract for poster
session C34 (Global
Model Evaluation and Projections: CMIP5 and Other
Model
Intercomparisons) at the WCRP OSC in Denver (24-28
Oct 2011). (See here
for details of the conference.). This session is
perfectly suited for
the presentation of work relating to Transpose-AMIP.
Whilst it is
recognised that there may still only be data from a
small number of
models available by the workshop, this session can
be used to
illustrate your analysis methodology on the data
available with the
intention that it will be extended when data from
more models are
submitted. Details
about the poster session can be found at http://conference2011.wcrp-climate.org/posters_description.html#C34
and details of how to submit abstracts can be found
at http://conference2011.wcrp-climate.org/abstracts.html.
The deadline for submission is April
30.

10 Nov 10 - Information available on how to process
dataThe data
requirements
section of the website has been updated with
information on how to
process and submit transpose-AMIP II data. This
includes MIP-tables for
use by the CMOR processing tool, and sample data.

05 Oct 10 - Update on centre's pledged to run the
tranpose-AMIP II experimentFollowing the 2010
WGCM meeting, the following centres have pledged to
conduct the transpose-AMIP II experiment.

EC-Earth

IPSL (Sandrine Bony)

Met
Office (Keith Williams)

Meteo
France (Michel Deque)

MIROC
(Masahiro Watanabe)

(Bjorn Stevens)

MRI
(Tomoaki Ose)

NCAR
(David Williamson)

30 Sep 10 - MIP tables being testedTranspose-AMIP II
experiments
have now been completed with the Met Office model
and data are being
converted to CMOR compliant netCDF using trial MIP
tables for the
project. Once these data have been successfully
converted, the MIP
tables will be added to this website.

17 Nov 09 - Centre's pledge to conduct the
tranpose-AMIP II experiment The following
centres have pledged to conduct the transpose-AMIP
II experiment.

17 Nov 09 - Addition to the experimental designOn
recommendation from WGNE, in addition to the core
experiment
initialised from ECMWF analyses, centres are being
requested to
optionally
submit a second set of experiments. For this second
experiment, centres
with their own assimilation system should use their
own analyses whilst
centres without their own assimilation system should
be initialised
from MERRA re-analyses. More details on the Experimental
design page.

2 Oct 09 - Transpose-AMIP II endorsed by WGCMTranspose-AMIP is
now jointly
endorsed by WGNE and WGCM. We believe this shows the
widespread
agreement on the usefulness of the experiment and
hope that a large
number of centres will participate, both in running
the experiments and
analysing the data. Catherine Senior has been
appointed by WGCM as
their representative on the transpose-AMIP steering
committee.

28 July 09 - Transpose-AMIP II: Call for diagnostic
subprojects Widespread use of
the
Transpose-AMIP II data for research purposes is
encouraged. A call for
diagnostic subprojects has been launched so that the
community can see
what work is proposed and to act at a catalyst for
further subprojects.
More details are available here.

We're
delighted,
and very grateful, that PCMDI has agreed
to host the
data for the project (either directly or through
the distributed
archive). We see the data sitting alongside the
CMIP5 data and sharing
much of the archiving/retrieval infrastructure.
With their experience of
analysing the CAPT data, we expect PCMDI will be
interested in leading
analysis subprojects and we welcome Steve Klein
onto the transpose-AMIP
steering committee as PCMDI's representative.

29
May 09 - Transpose-AMIP II to be taken to WGCM for
endorsement
Christian Jakob will be presenting the plans for
Transpose-AMIP II at
the WGCM meeting in September 2009. Having the project
endorsed by both
WGNE and WGCM should help extend our reach with WGNE
representing the
processed-based work to feed into parametrization
development and WGCM
representing most of the climate modelling centres
and CMIP5 (which this project has close
links to). It is
hoped that a representative from both WGNE and WGCM
will sit on the
transpose-AMIP steering committee.
